“The struggle for emancipation of Ekiti State has just started. I know we have men and women of honour who are going to be at the vanguard of this struggle. We at the head of the struggle will not shack in our responsibility.”
Governor Kayode Fayemi, who was represented by his deputy at the event Prof. Modupe Adelabu, said he was sure that the APC would “overtake and recover “ the state from the PDP in no distant time.
Fayemi said, “The APC is getting stronger. The party is on the ground, effectively, efficiently and absolutely. From what I have witnessed, we still have a firm grip of the state”.
